Chidambaram also expressed his concern about the political leaders in Kashmir 'who have been detained without charges' post the revocation of Article 370.
On Wednesday evening at around 8 pm, former Finance Minister P Chidambaram walked out of the Tihar jail and met Congress president Sonia Gandhi at her residence.
The bench, comprising justices AS Bopanna and Hrishikesh Roy, said the issue regarding an accused being a ''flight risk'' has to be considered on an individual level and being uninfluenced by the unconnected cases.
After more than a month, Chidambaram left Tihar jail -- where he had been in judicial custody since September 5 -- when he was formally arrested by the ED on October 16.
Court asked for Chidambaram to be presented on October 24, however the date for other accused is not given by the court.
CBI opposed Chidambaram's bail plea and told the Supreme Court that the 74-year-old Congress leader poses a flight risk and could also influence a witness.
A Delhi court had on Tuesday allowed the Enforcement Directorate to arrest the former finance minister in connection with the money laundering case.
